Febrifugine is a quinazolinone alkaloid first isolated from the Chinese herb Dichroa febrifuga, but also found in the garden plant Hydrangea.^[1] Laboratory synthesis of febrifugine determined that the originally reported stereochemistry was incorrect.^[2]

Febrifugine has antimalarial properties and the halogenated derivative halofuginone is used in veterinary medicine as a coccidiostat. Halofuginone is specifically shown to be an effective drug in malaria, cancer, fibrosis and inflammatory disease.^[3]
